That Banner:
Keep those banners. gasfed and CORY.
Keep them thcre to tell the story -'-'
OF our deeds on fields of glory, pti" -
Keep them, keep them, let them rest!
Tokens of Yalor splendid,
Glorious mem'ries with them blended;
Keep them, for the strife is ended, al
Keep them, keep them-it is best.
Keep them, yc who took them hold them
Keep them, we would not unfold them,
For the cause that first unrolled them.
To the battles breezo Is dead.
Keep them, they would only sadden,
II, indeed, they did not madden,
Southern hearts, while yours they gladden.,
For to win them thousands bled.
While We hail the generous feeling, -.
Which would close the wound now healing,
Yet this fact is worth revealing.
.SouGlron's do not toant their flags!
Not but that We still approve them,
Not but that VIC still do love them,
But VIC would not have you move them,
Keep the dear old shot-Pierced rags.
Keep them-yes, We would not have them ,
Though VIC fought aud bled to save them,
There are none who now would wave them
To disturb our Nations peace.
You to whom they were surrendered,
Burying all that strife engeudered
In return your hearts havo rendered
Keep them, they are in their place.

900 acres. The export was 21 900, 900

themselves on wages of about $3.50

The WAYwARD APPLE PIE RIDGER.
The Winchester Times, in publish
ing the poem which appears upon
our first page to-day, says:
The piece of poetry on the first
page of this issue, dedicated to our
personal friend Mr.. Charles B
Rouss, of New York, by " Amicus,"
will be read and enjoyed by every
one of our readers whose pleasure it
is to know him. May the temper-
ence hall at White Hall, which will
bear the name (when dedicated) of
the once "little wayward, wild Apple
Pic Ridger" be the source of much
pleasure to the denizens of that por-
ton of our fair county. We trust it
will be preserved for many years to
come. As each cycle of time rolls
around there will no doubt be gath
cred within its walls the youth and
beauty of their day-and when the
question is asked, who was it that
was instrumental in fearing this
structure? may each one present be
familiar with the life history of this
splendid gentleman who overcome
what would have been considered by
most men unsurmountable obstacles.
May they also remember that in his
mercantile career he reached the top
most round of the latter of CONNER
cial enterprise and fame. AS a
guarantee that the mammoth estab-
lishment of G. B.. .Rouss, 466 and 468
Broadway, New York. is rapidly pro-
crossing towards the fifty million
mark we mention that his sales this
year adds up more than million over
that of last year. Our best wishes
for still greater increase in 1888.
